Feet hold device

Abstract

The present summary regards to a utility model patent to support the feet. It is belonging to sanitary metal field an it was developed to facilitate the foot washing during the shower and it is understood: by an ‘U’ structure (1)-(2); and by two nesting plates (4) in whose upper extremities are connected and it stays displaced in a sharp angle and the extremities of the extreme routes of the ‘U’ structure and the lower extremities of the said plates stays turned down and it foresee roles to fixation on the box wall or other shower places.

Description

Hereby current descriptive report regards to a patent of a feet hold device belonging to the field of sanitary metals and developed to facilitate the foot washing during the shower.

A problem during the shower is foot washing due to the difficult, for the most of people, on reaching them in a safe way. Indeed, a lot of people, for being fat or having any physical impediment or even for being elderly people or any other circumstances, have difficult on reaching and foot washing, in a safe way during the shower, particularly inside box. This is made worse for the fact that the floor stays wet and soapy during the shower. Thus, to flank this problem some improvisations are utilized neither always acceptable like the use of brush with a long stick and/or an improvised support or others, what is not desirable. So, cleaning the foot becomes difficult and, not rare, less efficient. To avoid health problem all body parties shall be considered and the foot cleanliness can not be ignored.

In this manner, the objective of the current utility model patent is providing a simple and efficient device to overcome the above problems.

Alternative objective is providing a device that can be installed inside the existing box and in one at normal use or in one that is being building.

Another objective is providing a device that does not compromise the box esthetics.

Another objective is providing a device that, besides proportioning the above advantages of assembling, manufacturing and low complexity installation does not result in something uninteresting.

The last objective is providing a low cost device.

Considering, therefore, the problems above mentioned and with the purpose of overcoming it and aiming to meet the listed objectives, it was developed the feet hold device, purpose of the current utility model patent, that is understood, essentially: by an interval in “U” structure, whose transversal route supports the feet and the extremes are short and perpendicular to those: and by nesting plates in whose upper extremities are connected and stay displaced the extreme route of the interval in “U” in a sharp angle and the lower extremities of said plates upon receiving holes to fixation on the wall.

This manufacturing way of the device solves the above mentioned problems since it offers a support for the feet during the washing that is safe even for those people with some mobility difficult or for being fat or for having any physical problem or for being elderly or for any other reasons.

On the other hand, the present device does not compromise the box esthetics where it is applied and it can be easily installed either in an existing one or in one in construction.

Another advantage of the current device is being a simple manufacturing one and its cost being suitable to its destination.

The attached drawing shows the feet hold device, object of the current patent, as follows:

The Picture 1 shows the device in perspective;

The Picture 2 shows the device for one of the sides and;

The Picture 3 shows the device installed and the use indication.

In compliance to the above pictures included the device, object of the current utility patent model is designed to support the feet during washing and it is essentially understood: by an ‘U’ tubular structure 1-2, whose transversal route 1 is designed to support the feet the individual wants to be washed and for doing this it is incorporated in its superior face flat area constituted for a plate 3 and the extremes routes 2 of this piece are short and perpendicularly extended from it; and by two nesting plates 4 in whose upper extremities are connected arid stays displaced in a sharp angle to the extremities of the extreme routes and are five roles to fixation on the wall with screws and others.

The device assembled like that is installed (picture 3) on a wall 10 of a box 11 observing a suitable height, through its nesting plates 4 in a way that the ‘U’ format structure 1-2 of the device stays down tilted regarding to the wall plan 10.

Under these terms, the user supports the feet to be washed above the support plate 3 of the transversal route 1 of the ‘U’ structure 1-2 and easily makes the washing.

Inside of basic assembling, mentioned above, the device, object of the current utility model patent can present variation related to materials, dimensions and manufacturing details and/or of functional and/or esthetics configuration without compromising the required protection.

Considering this, the device, in its functional configuration, can have different ornamental configuration in order to harmonize or being part of different kinds of sanitary metal kits used in bathroom.

Claims

1) “Feet hold device”, featured by an ‘U’ structure (1)-(2), whose transversal route (1) is incorporated in its higher face with a flat area to support the feet (3) and the extreme routes (3) of this piece are short and stays perpendicularly extended to it; and by two nesting plates (4) connected in the upper extremities and it stays in a sharp angle of the extremities of the extreme routes (2) of the ‘U’ structure and the lower extremities of these plates (4) stays turned down and foresee roles (5) to fixation on the box wall or other shower places.
